The Desire to Be Known

As women, we have a huge desire to be known. We want to be seen and understood at the core because being seen and known promotes a healthy emotional balance. It makes us feel validated. We feel accepted and loved. And it’s a powerful way to encourage a weary soul and burdened heart. Consider that God wants the same from us. Of course, not for the same reasons. He doesn’t struggle with insecurity or need validation from His own creation. But God wants us to seek Him with a deep longing and with all our hearts. The Lord wants us to cry out to Him with great passion because we know His ability to save and restore. And when we do, God promises that we will find Him. He will show up and meet our needs in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Prayer: Dear God, hear me cry out for Your help. Know that I am seeking You with fervor. Let me feel Your presence right now. Amen.
